Ron & Fez: Goodbyes and The Future... (04/10/15)

Ron and Fez say goodbye to each other. "Bennington" will replace "Ron & Fez" starting April 20th with cohost Gail. Chris may or may not join the show. You'll be missed Fez, even by those who say they won't. (P.s. the Best Ofs were live this week).

MOOOOOOOOOOOOM MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

[@SteamboatWillie74]

The seeds of fez's retirement were planted back in December 2014, when fez freaked out and was crying away saying 'don't let them split us up ron!' Because of his crazy perception of Don Wickland's compliments. And Ron saying "What the fuck. I have to do something different." Put events in motion. I'm sure the retirement discussions started soon after that. It sucks. O&A talking about Fez is why I started listening to R&F, to hear more about this crazy Fez character. The Gail & Ron show will not fill the void. I like Shelby. I hope he is still on the air somewhere.

C Mos The seeds were sown years before that. Fez has been off the rails for the better part of a decade.

I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my account password. I love any assistance you can offer me.

@Griffin Cody Instablaster =)

[@MelissaAnn420]

Wow, I can't believe this was real. The only thing that could ever come close would be for Ron and Anthony to do a show. Rest in Piss 😎😭

[@thatblindmike]

rip

[@andrewptob]

Steven, do you have that 4/2/2015 show? The show where they intro with a huge laugh like the announcement on the previous day had been a joke? That killed me and I can't find it anywhere...

[@goodfellalee87]

been thinking this was a work the last 2 weeks but think i finally believe it now fuck

[@dylanc760]

GOODE FELLA I still think it is.

[@502tomthebomb]

Bye Fez !

[@mcswabin207]

First guest on Bennington next Monday will be the Midnight Ass Rider

[@LoboLocoX]

I still can't % 100 believe this is the end of Fez or Todd, maybe he'll come back as a new personality

[@DHodges187]

Kind of a crappy ending IMO and a lot of the "Best of's" were Meh at best. Either way. I don't think the Bennington show is a 5 day a week show, nor do I dig its continued affiliation with the iBang. But again its my opinion. Good Bye Ron and Fez, Thank you, and I hope Shelby still has a gig. It must have been next to impossible to have had to work for/with Fez this last year or so.... I could not have done it, there most definitely would have been a " Misunderstanding".

[@DangerMenace]

Fuckin' Waylon Mercy got a thank you

[@ANormalPersonYT]

Gail is when I checked out, I get it Ron, but dead air was better than Gail will ever be… it sucked, but that was when this show ended for me… Michelle was the start, Gail was the finish. 8 years later, listening to this still makes me sad.

[@JoshyJosh610]

Ron's line about "Gail Bennington and Chris Stanley Bennington" makes me think that they're both going to be considered on-air personalities, with Chris also being executive producer (Fez's old role). This frees up another producer spot in addition to Shelby; most likely Vito since they've been oddly bringing him up a lot. If Chris gets even half of Fez's old salary I'd be happy. All just wild speculation of course.

[@zoso4986]

Good call.

[@YoavZouker]

Ron & Ant show summer 2015 please Krishna ... i beseech thee

[@VerifiedFiveIron]

At least Fez was funny again for the last show.

[@omayrasdemesne]

Did Fez ever say where he's going? Is he retiring to Florida, staying in NY?

[@okiedouk]

Omayra Serrano Florida. going to be with the whole famn damily.

[@omayrasdemesne]

okiedouk thank you!!!!! :-)

[@Ironclad17]

I give him 6 months before he's institutionalized.

[@CrankMonkey99]

Good point. Or six feet under

[@potheadkennewick]

Chris is a fool if he doesn't join the show

[@potheadkennewick]

***** I doubt he'd pass the chance to be co host to Ronnie B for a corporate gig. At least I hope not

[@DHodges187]

John Gulbunny The Co Host of Bennington is Gail Bennington. Period. Chris didnt chime in on any of those other shows, why would he now? Its over kids.

[@DHodges187]

Maybe? I dunno Im so frustrated with Talk radio as a whole right now, and Ive been listening to talk in one form or another since the 80's. Maybe since the 70's?? Hell even my local Garbage show went thru some drama this past month and is also changing up by this Monday. What is it about April? HAHA? I Understand things end, I get that. But I was never happy with the entire platform since the merger, and I rode out Fez's crazyness. I guess I dont know what my point is now. I just cant listen to him and his daughter 5 days a week, same way I couldnt stand HTG up his ass every other day, and NO I dont hate women, love women, married one, a really kewl chick, but part of how we have stayed together 15 years is WE DO separate shit most of the day. I also didnt like the move to Raw Dog, That really screwed up the show IMO. the entire Jeffry Gurian nonsense? Really? Those comics would have walked thru the SXM doors on there own, thats why that company has a booking department. Plus honestly a lot of those no name people really are NOT FUNNY!

[@jennpenn5]

***** I totally agree. It would really fucking stink if Pepper leaves.

[@JAKECUB100]

So what happened to shelby?

[@steveyknight]

Was told he was getting the co hosting gig but was walked into an empty room, last words were "Ohhh n-".

[@mkozdron1]

He's gone, we couldn't do nothin about it.

[@JoshyJosh610]

JAKECUB100 He's been there all week running the Ron & Fez Twitter account; he most likely stepped back behind the scenes while Chris is in studio. The lack of mentions about him were probably just to keep Fez happy.

[@DHodges187]

JAKECUB100 Treated like Shite IMO.

[@DHodges187]

Chip isnt funny on Air why would he be funny type written? Yuck!

[@slothin21]

Bennington on it's own is not that good.....kind of boring. Good luck to Ronnie but it's just not the same as Ron & Fez even minus Fez. Ronnie needs someone funny to throw ideas and jokes off of. Without it the show just sounds like a podcast. Same as Ant, the show is kind of boring without a REAL co-host.

[@arkmainable]

James Friedman Are you saying Mr. Dead Air is the REAL co-host here?

[@CrankMonkey99]

Missile Lawnchair there was a ton of awkward, elephant in the room, uncomfortable hilarity in the dead air co-host show. I don't like fez, but Ive never encountered anything like r and f in the last few years, and I laughed. A lot. At fez, with the rest of the show

[@slothin21]

Missile Lawnchair No not at all, I am just saying Ronnie was still great on the Ron & Fez show (even if Fez wasn't contributing much). I'm just not feeling the Bennington project that was on Fridays. I want Ronnie with someone that triggers the madness (not Gail or Pepper). Ant would be the best and probably would of happened if Ant wouldn't of blown up his and Opie's relationship. Now Ron won't work with Opie cause Fez hates his guts, and Ron won't work with Ant cause Opie hates HIS guts. So now we're stuck with the fucking Bennington clan.
